Lyrics for Song: The Water Is Wide
Lyrics for Album: New Moon Shine [1991]
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
There is a ship
and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep
as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinkin' it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
the sweetest flower when first it's new
but love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like the mornin' dew
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
/:/ And both shall row my love and I /:/
